Granny's Garden

Picture

» Granny Bell?s flower garden as it looked this spring. It was in full bloom as if to do it in her honor.

These pictures are of a new weed-free garden. Our club member Faye Hillman has taken pity on garden neglect and has added her touch which has made it even more beautiful.

Picture

Faye Hillman has added even more beauty to the garden by almost daily attention. She has painted some of the stones and bird feeder and added a touch of her own talent. It truly is a tribute to Granny now. Granny would definitely appreciate what Faye has done as do we all. We believe Granny would concur if we gave Faye all the praises and thanks she deserves. Thank you Faye for your beautiful work and all your time.
